Security Software Engineer - Yahoo!

Hello,

Yahoo!, the little internet portal that could, has a number of openings
for unixy security people.  It's no secret that Yahoo! is using FreeBSD
for a large portion of their hosts, but the job requirements are in
general not all that operating system specific.

The overall sales pitch for the company goes something like this:

"Think about impacting 1 out of every 2 people online--in innovative and
imaginative ways that are uniquely Yahoo!. We do just that each and
every day, and you could too. After all, it's big thinkers like you who
will create the next generation of Internet experiences for consumers
and advertisers across the globe. Now's the time to show the world what
you've got. Put your ideas to work for over half a billion people."

In addition, Y! is a very fun place to work, and there are few places
that operate on a scale like this, so you get to solve problems that
others won't ever encounter.  This also means that we have a fairly big
target painted on our back, which in turn leads to busy and interesting
days in the security area...

We currently have three positions open in the core "Paranoids" group
which is responsible for pretty much all things security, ranging from
vulnerability assessment to software architecture and review, incidence
response, forensics and prevention, assessment of mergers and
acquisitions to developing monitoring tools etc. etc.

- Security Software Engineer - Scanning, Monitoring (1 position)
  Location: Sunnyvale, CA, USA

Where does one find good unix kernel contractors these days?

I am striking out with my usual contacts.

A friend's company is looking for a contractor with some
knowledge of Linux, Solaris & AIX kernels (sorry, no *BSD).  I
think this is easy work for someone who has done moderately
complex kernel work in these kernel.  No opportunity to learn
on the job.

My guess is the work will last about 6 months, may be a year.
The work is in the SF Bay Area (with the usual exception for
wizard types!).  If interested, please email me with your
resume and/or some details of your kernel experience. If you
pass my filter you will deal with his company directly.  FWIW,
the company has been around since 2005.

Thanks!
